"'Tain't very," said the boy, speaking feebly of body but stout of heart. "I don't mind, comrade. Soldiers don't mind a wound. Oh, I say!" he cried, with more vigour than he had previously evinced. "Did I hurt you?" "Yes, you just did. Were you cutting it with your knife?" "No," said his comrade with a half-laugh, as he drew his hand from where he had passed it under the boy's shoulder.

But Hester got up impatiently from her seat, and would not play any more. Rose caught the sudden intentness with which Alice Puttenham's eyes pursued her.
